Bible in a Year - Day 66

Day 60 - Numbers 23, 24 & 25; Mark 8:1-21God is not a human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act?Does he promise and not fulfill? (Numbers 23:19)I see him, but not now;I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. (Numbers 24:17a)I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. (Mark 8:2)Day 61 - Numbers 26 & 27; Mark 8:22-38Say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter. (Numbers 27:8)Day 62 - Numbers 28 & 29; Mark 9:1-29Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” (Mark 9:7)But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up. (Mark 9:27)Day 63 - Numbers 30 & 31; Mark 9:30-50Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.” He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,“Whoever
welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and
whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.” (Mark 9:35-37)If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea. (Mark 9:42)Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other. (Mark 9:50)Day 64 - Numbers 32 & 33; Mark 10:1-31“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one.Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” (Mark 10:6-9)When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. (Mark 10:14-16)“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospelwill fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” (Mark 10:29-31)Day 65 - Numbers 34, 35 & 36; Mark 10:32-52...select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee.They will be places of refuge from the avenger, so that anyone accused of murder may not die before standing trial before the assembly. (Numbers 35:11-12)Anyone who kills a person
is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses.
But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. (Numbers 35:30)For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45)Day 66 - Deuteronomy 1 & 2; Mark 11:1-19The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes,and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place. (Deuteronomy 1:30-31)And the little ones that you said would be taken captive, your children who do not yet know good from bad—they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it. (Deuteronomy 1:39)The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything. (Deuteronomy 2:7)
